DIY Tulle Socks

What’s great about tulle socks is that they’re not only fashionable but also practical and comfortable. Paired with a sleek pair of black heels and the right dress, they can elevate any outfit for a party, special occasion, or even a night out on the town.

Now, you might be thinking, “I’m not a fashionista, can I really pull off this trend?” The answer is a resounding yes! Tulle socks are surprisingly easy to make, requiring just a few basic materials and some sewing know-how.

To get started, all you need is some soft tulle with stretch, thread, pins, a sock, scissors, a sewing machine, and an iron. The key is to choose tulle that has enough stretch to comfortably fit over your foot. See the full tutorial here.

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.

Oh, these are SO cute! I’ve never really thought about the different ways tulle can be used, but these socks really add a little extra something to this outfit (or what we can see of it, anyway). I might have to add this to my “to make” list!
